    Bernie Sanders took office in the Senate the same year the iPhone was first released. At the end of the day, he hasn’t accomplished his goals. At some point we need to move on to new leadership.

      More of a failing with the democratic party blocking progressive policies than a failure of Bernie.

      Your assertion is that a single member of the house of representatives should be able to accomplish their goals or they’re not a good leader?

      I’ll be the one to break it to you: the guy doesn’t have that much power.

      He can be part of the new leadership. He’s been a loyal part of this fight for his entire life as far as I can tell.

      But I agree we need leadership. I don’t think I’m a good option but, maybe?
